GFS Transition Mono V2 Jump Saddle | High-Performance Monoflap Jump Saddle for Tall Riders and Athletic Horses
Designed for Riders Who Want to Maximise Their Horse's Jumping Potential
The GFS Transition Mono V2 Jump Saddle is a modern monoflap jumping saddle engineered for riders who demand exceptional balance, close contact and freedom of movement. Designed with competitive jumping in mind, it offers an outstanding combination of rider biomechanics, horse comfort, and adjustable-fit technology.
One of the defining characteristics of the Transition Mono V2 is its forward-cut flap, making it particularly well-suited to taller riders or those with a longer hip-to-knee (femur) measurement. The carefully designed flap geometry allows the rider's leg to remain correctly positioned without the knee extending beyond the front of the saddle, helping create a secure, naturally balanced jumping position.
Whether you're producing young horses, competing in show jumping or tackling demanding cross-country tracks, the Transition Mono V2 has been designed to help horse and rider perform as one.
Designed Around Rider Biomechanics
A successful jumping position begins with a stable, balanced pelvis that allows the lower leg to find its natural fall and correct alignment to the stirrup bar.
The Transition Mono V2 Jump Saddle features a supportive cantle that helps keep the rider's pelvis correctly aligned throughout the jumping effort. Rather than allowing the rider to sit behind the movement, the saddle promotes a balanced position that enables the seat to follow the horse naturally while maintaining positive forward impulsion.
This balanced pelvic support helps riders:
-
Maintain a secure lower leg.
-
Stay centred over the horse's movement.
-
Absorb power through the seat rather than resisting it.
-
Develop quieter, softer hands.
-
Ride with greater balance into and away from a fence.
As the rider maintains a stable, independent position, the horse is better able to lift through the withers, engage the hindquarters and produce a more athletic, powerful jump.
Helping the Horse Jump More Effectively
The Transition Mono V2 has been designed to allow the horse maximum freedom through the shoulder while encouraging efficient transmission of energy from the hindquarters.
When the rider remains correctly balanced, the horse is able to:
-
Step further underneath with the hind legs.
-
Lift the forehand more easily.
-
Produce greater elevation over a fence.
-
Develop an improved bascule.
-
Jump the larger, more technical courses with greater confidence.
The close-contact monoflap construction allows subtle communication between horse and rider, enabling accurate half-halts, smoother turns and greater precision when riding technical combinations.
Lightweight Construction with Outstanding Comfort
Built around a Polymer Synthetic Web-Strained Saddle Tree, the Transition Mono V2 offers impressive strength while remaining exceptionally lightweight.
Reducing unnecessary saddle weight benefits the horse by minimising fatigue and allowing freer movement, particularly during longer training sessions and competitions.
The saddle features natural wool-flocked panels, which provide several important advantages over fixed foam systems.
Natural wool:
-
Absorbs concussion and impact energy.
-
Distributes rider weight more evenly across the horse's back.
-
Allows precise adjustment by a qualified saddle fitter.
-
Adapts as the horse develops muscle and topline.
-
Helps maintain consistent saddle balance throughout the saddle's life.
When professionally fitted, the panel design promotes excellent pressure distribution, allowing the horse to move comfortably while maintaining stability through every phase of the jump.
Advanced Saddle Fitting Technology
The Transition Mono V2 incorporates the proven GFS X-Change Gullet System, allowing the saddle width to be professionally adjusted as the horse changes shape through work, fitness and muscle development.
The saddle accommodates Narrow through to XX Wide interchangeable gullet plates, making it suitable for a broad range of sport horse conformations.
The adjustable front gusset allows further refinement during fitting, while the innovative X-Change Girthing System offers multiple billet configurations to enhance saddle stability and balance across different horses.
